Amazon.com Review:
These classic Felco pruners set the standard by which all others are judged. The choice of landscape professionals, nursery workers, and savvy gardeners around the globe; this exceptionally well-made tool features a design that's been unchanged for more than 50 years. The anvil blade has a deep sap groove to prevent sticking. A Swiss, precision-made cutting blade with soft wire cutter is replaceable for maximum return on investment. An easily-adjusted bolt and nut allow users to customize blade alignment for more efficient operation. A rubber cushion with shock absorbers pads blades where they come together to reduce impact and strain on wrists. Strong, light, forged-aluminum alloy handles have a red, plastic coating that's molded for comfort (and makes pruners easier to spot in the garden). A non-corroding spring mechanism is covered with a metal sheath to protect from moisture.

Ideal for trimming rose bushes and woody perennials, the Felco Original's smooth, soft action, ergonomic comfort, and exceptional durability put it in a class of its own. It's covered by a one-year warranty. However, with proper care, these pruners will last a lifetime. --Mary Park

Great Pruners
I looked in regular stores for a good pruner but only found the low quality Chinese stuff. I then searched online for a pruner made in the US but found this swiss pruner. It is great, cuts like butter and of good solid quality. I am sure I will still have and use it in 10 years whereas the Chinese stuff ends up in the trash after 6 months. I wish consumers would complain more about the low quality stuff that is on the market these days and pay a few $$$ extra and then get something quality made.


Feclo Best Pruners I Ever Owned
These pruners are top quality, much much better than any pruner purchased at Home Depot. Pruner has great ergonomics, they stay sharp and are easy to use. I recently purchased a second pair of Felco Classic's for my son.


excellent tool
I have only used these for 2 weeks, but so far I'm very pleased. They have a good grip, and are great for pruning my roses, plants of all kinds, and have maintained their sharpness.

Best hand pruner I've ever had!
This hand pruner is wonderful! It cuts through 1 inch branches like butter, it's easy on my hand, and the locking feature stays where I set it. With other pruners, the latch or slide-lock would lock on me while I was using it. This one stays unlocked until I lock it. With lots of bushes to prune, this very well-designed pruner makes my work much easier.


awesome
Best pair of pruners I have ever owned. Sharp enough to cut through anything in your garden and makes very clean cuts. Easy on the hands and well made. Excellent product.

The gold standard of pruners. Buy It!
 
Review Date: July 11, 2005
Reviewer: B. Marold, Bethlehem, PA United States
Ever since I got my first Felco pruner, I will not even consider buying any other brand. Not only do they work better than any other brand, they are simple to take apart and clean and replace worn parts. They are even relatively simple to sharpen, although it takes a slightly different touch than your pocket knife or chef's knife.

The bottom line is that they work really, really well for years, even without sharpening. Their scissors action is much better than the anvil style. This F-2 model is the most general purpose design and I use it on virtually everything.

I will suggest that if, like me, you have relatively small hands, the smaller F-6 model is slightly more comfortable and easier to use for most work. I have both and use the F-6 for heavy duty end of the year pruning and the F-2 throughout the summer for average pruning jobs.
There's no substitute for quality

I have a couple of rules about tools that I've developed for myself, I'll share one here, don't buy crap. Most expensive doesn't equate best, but do your homework and buy good quality, it will cost you less in the long run.
A few years ago I bought a pair of corona "professional" pruners after having borrowed my brother-in-laws felco #2's. I used them for a couple of cuts and couldn't stand them... so I took them back, which I really don't like to do much but they just weren't what they were represented to be by the salesman. Which is as good as Felco pruners. (Corona makes other good products I'm especially fond of their lopers.) Then I went to another store (before I grew so fond of amazon) and bought some of these. I LOVE THEM. I can't say that enough so just in case you missed it, I LOVE THEM. For the last few years I've used them every year for a good number of trees, shrubs and bushes. They are still sharp, I haven't even had to sharpen them. They cut like the day I bought them. They are so smooth and feel so nice in your hand compared to any of the others I've used. (When I was young and dumb I worked landscaping for a while, the boss had a set of these, but we got stuck using whatever else, now I know why!)

If you want the best hand pruners that will last you at least twice as long, I think you've found the right pair.

Just Buy This Pruner

Ok, I am an ex foreman arborist, now a stay at home dad. You will not find any better pruners. I had bought some cheap $5 pruners from HD and the things literally fell apart with the first use. When i was trimming trees I used these same pruners for about 3 years straight and they are AWESOME! If your reading this then you probably don't need my advice on buying Felcos, your just trying to pic a model. The #f-2's are the standard pruner that my old job, Davey Tree, gave to its arborists. They work great and fit the hand perfect. I would suggest this model unless you've tried others and know what you want. Good Luck and happy Pruning!

Reviewer: Martha J. Stanfield, NC, USA
I've used a pruner for years (and actually it's done other work such as cutting baling twine)and until our nursery man showed me his Felco, I couldn't part with the first one. Now I'm looking for plants that need a "little tweaking". What a joy to use! With replaceable parts, this pruner with the bright red handles lives up to the Swiss reputation for a quality product. You definitely get what you pay for with this indispensable tool.
Works like a champ

The quality of these pruners are obvious when you pick them up. They are comfortable to hold, even for my wife's smaller hands. They slice branches and twigs cleanly and effortlessly. These should be an essential tool for any gardener.
